Hello,

So far everything is transferring fine except attachments. They are stored in the file system and I have specified the correct path (used the PWD command). The error I get is "source file not found".

Any ideas?

You have to have the source data on the same server as vB.

The source data is on the same server. I even moved the source attachments directory into the VB forum directory and pointed the Import script to the new location. Still can't find the files for some reason.

Then thiss:

"source file not found".

...has always meant exactly what it says in my exerience. Thesse files are not where you are looking for them. Most likely you have the path wrong, but possibly the directory and file permissions are not world-readable.

I chmoded the directory to 777. I've entered the directory every possible way imaginable. With and without slashes, full path, relative path. I must have a unique case.
